Description: DG Racing was started out as a motorcycle parts company, taking its name from founders, Dan and Gary. Gary's son Kevin was both into competitive MX and BMX racing, so DG also got into BMX in 1975. In 1976 they hired Chuck Robinson (later of Robinson Racing) to run the BMX team and help design their bikes, which were produced through 1981. DG Racing had never stopped producing MX products and continued to do so after their foray into the world of BMX and to this day, their bikes remain highly sought after by collectors.
Description: Founded in 1978, BMX Plus! Magazine is the longest running BMX publication the world has ever known. They were there as BMX racing was born until their final issue in 2015 making it 37 years straight without missing a single issue. While that alone is impressive, especially making it so far in the internet age for what is without question a niche market while maintaining their consistent quality throughout is truly an accomplishment all involved should be proud of.
Description: Carl's Speed Shop is a legendary name in high-performance motorcycle tuning, known today as a go-fast landmark in Daytona Beach, Florida. But long before it became a destination for speed enthusiasts on the East Coast, Carl's Speed Shop had its roots in Whittier, California, where it operated until 1996. Founded by Carl Morrow, a pioneer in motorcycle performance and drag racing, the shop built its reputation on making American iron faster, louder, and more powerful. In Southern California's hotbed of car culture, Carl spent decades tuning engines, crafting performance parts, and pushing the limits of speed.
Description: Back in the mid '60s, some enterprising folks got together and convinced the small farm community of Lake Elsinore, California to host a dirt bike race through town and around the dusty hills surrounding it. Some say it was meant to be the successor to the legendary Catalina Grand Prix, which ran from 1951-58 on the island off the coast until the logistics and its own success killed it. The Elsinore races were also killed by their own success, and the crowds of rowdy bikers who attended well into the late 1970s. 1972 was the fifth annual Elsinore Grand Prix, and this one replicates the official design that was used to mark the event by way of posters and t-shirts.
Description: BMX Bandits is a 1983 Australian action film about three teenagers who discover a stash of walkie-talkies, and decide to make a quick buck by selling them. Unfortunately, the equipment belongs to a gang of hardened criminals who need them for their next job, and will do anything to get them back. The film was initially released as Short Wave in the United States, but would regain it's BMX Bandits title when it made its way to home video.
Description: UNI BMX are credited with creating the lightest bicycle seats ever produced, making them popular with racers looking for the edge that shaving off a few ounces off their race bikes might provide. In addition to their ultralight once piece seats, UNI also made number plates, grips, race pants, jerseys, and more, all of which maintained the company's 'lighter is faster' mantra. This design reflects UNI's iconic rainbow logo that went into use in the '80s.
Description: The legacy of the Sacramento Mile goes all the way back to 1959 when Grand National champion Carroll Resweber captured the first main at the California State Fairgrounds. Since that historic event, every top flat track motorcycle racer in the world has competed at the California Capitol City's legendary dirt oval, doing battle at speeds topping 140 miles per hour.
